If you don’t meet our demands, you are PreSaharaAfricanAmericanTransEuroIndigenousPersonOfHarvestPeachPhobic and deserve to be canceled and maybe even have your property destroyed by a fiery but mostly peaceful protest.

SFC (Join to see) Then you may be amused by a little story.
My last seven working years were in Employee Relations for a private prison company. As senior HR wienie I had HR oversight for the six AZ facilities. Our corporate compliance officer came down from Nashville because she claimed our annual EEOC Adverse Impact Analysis Report was skewed. She said we had too many "others" and not enough "Hispanics ". Naturally my managers narc'd me out, saying Terry told us if the EE didn't know what they were tell them to choose "other". Well, she said, if they have a Spanish name, or look Hispanic tell them to mark Hispanic. I said, don't know how Tennessee folks are, but down here in the southwest we have been diversely co-habitating since Kit Carson married the Alcalde's daughter. Nearly as many Irish landed at Vera Cruz as went thru Ellis Island. Plus, people down here are not comfortable with the Hispanic label. On a roll, I said Hispanic is a made up term that lumps folks together because of a (nearly) common language and a few cultural commonalities. If that is the measure, there should only be three categories on the EEOC form - Anglo, Hispanic and Other. So everyone who speaks English is Anglo. Black Americans, native Americans, Jamaicans, Bermudans , Nigerians, Indians (India), Filipinos, Singaporeans - all Anglo. Woman had no sense of humor. PO2 Marco Monsalve

CWO4 Terrence Clark - Love it!! Being the CEO of a firm that had fairly strict TS/SCI+ standards for a lot of positions I ran a continuing battle with the EEOC. Won't get into it but you would roll on the floor laughing at some of the stories.

PO2 Marco Monsalve We should collaborate on a book. Spent so much time at EEOC and AZ Nursing Board I had my own coffee cup there.

I'm laughing because it is hard to comment on this one. I'm a mutt, one grandfather Dutch another French. One grandmother Spaniard and another indigenous American ( like the PC touch? ) and if I go further back I find Scotch, Italian and so on. So maybe I'm a dark peach? :) Just goes to show how ridiculous all of this stuff can be.
